A delightful tomato-based sauce infused with fresh herbs and spices, perfect for enhancing any dish.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Ensure the skillet is evenly heated before adding the oil to prevent sticking.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, and sauté until soft and fragrant.
Stir frequently to avoid browning the garlic, which can make it bitter.
Stir in the paprika, salt, and black pepper, and cook for another minute to release the spices' aroma.
Cooking the spices briefly enhances their flavor.
Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste, and mix well.
Chop the tomatoes finely for a smoother sauce.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Adjust the water quantity based on your desired sauce consistency.
Add the chopped parsley and coriander, and stir to combine.
Add the herbs towards the end to retain their fresh flavor.
Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your liking.
Keep the heat low to prevent the sauce from burning.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then serve warm.
Serve the sauce immediately or let it cool for storage.
